right: on youtube Charlotte herself introduces The Netherlands
Today we would like to highlight a special picture book which is made by Charlotte Dematons. The book is about our own country, and it is called Holland. What a great idea to choose our small, special country as the subject. The Netherlands has been portrayed in such a diverse way, the prints are appealing to kids but also to adults. And... there is also an English version, for non-native speakers.
Every time you look at them something else springs to your attention. In her inimitable style, she shows perfectly what makes The Netherlands The Netherlands. A superb book that really must not be missing in your bookcase.
3 shining stars for Holland, the mini-monsters are fans of these two books!
